“What day is it?” the old man asked.
“June 8th!” the middle-aged man replied!
“That means there’s just over a month left. I hope that Chen Ping kid improves his cultivation quickly and reaches the fifth level of Qi Condensation at least!”
Old Head’s eyes were full of hope!
“Long Guanjia, the young master’s time of study is short, and it has only been a few months since he started. Even if he is gifted, it will be difficult!”
A middle-aged man shook his head.
“I know it’s difficult, but there’s no other way. He’s our only hope. Otherwise, nobody could save the young lady…”
A trace of helplessness flashed in Lao Longtou’s eyes, and then he looked at the calm sea: “That’s all I can do. The rest can only be left to fate!”
Whoosh…
As soon as Lao Tou’s words left his mouth, the sea surface surged. Xiao Ru’s body instantly shot out, clutching two grouper fish in her hands!
“Master, we had grouper for lunch today…”
Xiaoru excitedly shouted to the old man’s head! <<<
After reaching the shore, Xiaoru saw that the middle-aged man was not surprised. Instead, she politely called out, “Uncle Long, you’re here…”
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and nodded.
Soon Xiaoru left with the fish to cook, while the middle-aged man watched Xiaoru’s back and couldn’t help but sigh: “Such a good child, and she is even an ice crystal body. Her future strength is limitless…”
“Alas!” Old Head also sighed, “I have no choice. If it really comes to that, I can only sacrifice her. It’s better than letting the young master die. If the young master dies, the young mistress will surely not survive either. Then the entire Dragon family wouldn’t be what it once was…”
“However, I still hope that Long Guanjia can follow Miss Xiaoru and explain things clearly. I believe Xiaoru will know her place, after all, the young master is her savior…”
A middle-aged man spoke in a somewhat downcast tone.
During this time, getting to know Xiaoru, this middle-aged man has developed feelings for her. He doesn’t want Xiaoru to be kept in the dark and end up dying without knowing why!
“Well, I’ll tell her!” The old man nodded. “What was the reaction from those people in the Dragon Clan after you spread the word?”
“Of course I was shocked! They thought the Miss’s child had already died. Now that they know he’s alive, they’ve started sending people to look for him!” the middle-aged man said.
“That’s good then. With the Long Family’s strength, it shouldn’t take long to find the young master…” The patriarch of the Long Family smiled!
“Long Guanjia, why are you so eager to let the Long family know that the young master is still alive? Couldn’t we wait until the young master grows up for a few years and becomes more powerful?”
A middle-aged man asked, bewildered.
“Because the young lady couldn’t hold on for so long, she had been imprisoned for over twenty years and endured untold suffering. If we didn’t give her some spiritual support, she wouldn’t be able to last…”
The old man’s eyes were misty, a single tear rolling down his cheek!
The middle-aged man’s expression was also downcast as he addressed the old head of the household, “Manager Long, what secret did the old master tell the young mistress before his death? It’s a secret that has driven these people in the Long family to desperation, causing them to imprison the young mistress for so many years…”
“I don’t know either, but this secret must be important to the Long family, otherwise Miss wouldn’t have lived to this day…”
The old head shook.
Both of them fell silent, neither speaking anymore, but soon Xiaoru’s voice came: “Master, Uncle Long, the food is ready, you can come over for a meal…”
The old man and the middle-aged man smiled at each other, then walked towards Xiaoru. Soon, laughter and aromas wafted from a stone house nearby!
